What are peoples good ideas for the insulation under the headliner?

J_Speegle:
Fiberglass like originally used. For Mustangs you can use a water heater blanket with the foil side removed. If its too think you can strip off about half and make two.  If you get the yellow stuff the color will be somewhat close to aged  ::) original insulation

Spray contract adhesive (like what is used for headliners)  sprayed to the roof and to the insulation. You can do just one half , position it, then do  the other side while it hangs from the other side.

mtinkham:
A home center (read big) had a couple of what appeared to be ceiling insulation boards.  One side had a white paper-ish surface bonded to a 3/4" - 1" thick semi-rigid yellow fiberglass.  With the white paper removed, the fiberglass "panel" was quite flexible. I cut it to size and bonded it to the roof as Jeff described.
